Thank you Kristina . I been watch your video since 2018 at that time I just moved to the United States.
My life has been turn upside down since to move from San Francisco to another states.
I been to doing a lot of thing for living until last years October I realized that I can do Immigration Consulting job that I used to do part time to be full time. Your Consulting video motivated me that I could work from home.
Around November one of people I used go work with invited me to start our consulting business. So I quit my job. Then start new company.
I’m now co-found small U.S. immigration companies .
I remember from October until now . Every time I need to get in plane I will download your video on CZcams save to watch on boarding.
All you career trip all you travel for business trip videos have save my life from being someone else employee.
Thank you Kristina.
I admire people who have clear goals and plans. Your career journey inspires me. I am happy that you’re taking the break. Looking forward to the Korea vlogs.
thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Great to hear you're taking time off with a sabbatical, as someone who is in a similar situation (10 years in corporate). I'm currently in the middle of mine (although I resigned from my employer and am travelling through SE Asia at the moment basing in Bangkok). Also a runner, so its great to see you run Paris. As an Aussie who spent time in London its always great seeing your Europe videos. Hopefully you'll be able to post more while you're travelling, Cheers !
Wow amazing!! Some Europe/London content and more running content to come :)))
Hey Kchoi! Congrats on your journey! I've been following you for a while, but this is my first time dropping a comment.
I can totally relate to your experience. I spent six years in the corporate grind, doing PR and marketing for Tencent and NetEase, pretty much around the clock.
When the pandemic hit and everything got topsy-turvy, I decided to hit pause and embark on a journey of self-discovery. I quit my job and became a freelancer. I landed in Dali, a tranquil spot in southwest China, and enjoyed a blissful year on sabbatical.
Then, I jumped into the crypto rabbit hole and spent nearly three years as a researcher. It was a wild ride, but deep down, my love for film and drama never waned. so I take another break and I'll be starting at NYU Tisch this fall (I even had this daydream of bumping into you for coffee in New York!)
I guess we deserve a break after putting in the hard work, and sometimes, the journey itself matters, just like a marathon.
also a marathon runner, Your Paris marathon sounds like a dream. Enjoy every moment of it!
wowww what an amazing journey, thank you for sharing!! appreciate your support and for leaving me a comment 🫶
Well done Maestra Choi ! … enjoy your life!! Always be happy…. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😃😃😃
gracias amigo!!
@@bykchoi 👍🏼☺️
인스타 보니까 한국 오셨던데 재밌는 시간 보내셨길 바라겠습니다. 댓글 자주 남기지는 않지만 런던vlog 부터 모든 영상 보면서 항상 응원 합니다 :) 그건 그렇고 제주도는 좀 많이 부럽네요 ㅜㅜ 😭
Last living grandparent hit me and my eyes watered...my closest grandparent, grandma passed away in January😢 and I have no more grandparents
잘 쉬고 돌아오세요!
FYI,저도 같은 펌에 있습니다;)
Love Kchoi❤
Can you hold a sort of Kchoi fan meeting while you will be staying in Korea?
Kind of jealous of your break but i just started my job lol haha
Looking forward to your korean vlogs! Can’t believe Ive been watching you since your London vlogs
aww thanks for sticking around!!
vlog in korea pls!!
1-3 months? That’s amazing! I wished my company had that. Good luck with everything! 😄
thank you!
Enjoy your well deserved sabbatical, I hope taking these breaks to focus on personal priorities becomes more and more normalized over time :)
Do you still plan on living in the city while family planning? :) Happy you got this break! I've been working in consulting for about 9 months now, and I'm grateful to get a one week vacation.
Hi there, I'm currently working as a technical writer and got a chance to work as a Senior Analyst Change Management. I'm not sure whether to step in this domain bcz I have worked in different jobs, and everyone's saying management consultant job is hard. Can you shed some light on this pleaseee ❤
i have a much more fractionned career i started as a lab technician but never got a permanent job in that field so after 10 years of trying i shifted towards cybersecurity aaaaaaand once again im in between 2 jobs right now (basically im unemployed ahah) anyway i hope these 3 months will be beneficial to you and i hope you will have a great time to reconnect with your roots in Korea! (watching from france ahah)
you are gorgeous
2 years ago I faced a similar predicament after starting my grad role at Goldman Sachs.
I wasn’t finding the work meaningful or fulfilling and pivoted into the tech industry to work at Microsoft.
I was put on instant gardening leave and I had a 6 week gap to re-evaluate my priorities. It gave me the opportunity to start Techpods, spend time with family and think about my medium to long term goals outside of my career.
It sounds like you’ve put in a great deal of thought. Hope it provides you with the same opportunity!
wow!! so glad that you had that opportunity to take a step back and think. Gives me a lot of encouragement for my time off!
@@bykchoi 100%! Keen to hear your reflections after this 3 month sabbatical 😄
Wow that was unexpected, but great news for you. Seems the perfect time for you to have a career break and do some 'me' things. Hope you get everything you want from it and looking forward to seeing your content especially from Korea a place I've always wanted to travel to.
Thank you!! I’m excited and grateful to do it 🫶
